You guys have me concerned about installing the Tanabe DF210's. I'd rather not buy a new set of tires in 15k miles if I can avoid it. I saw some people wish the NF210's would go slightly lower. What to do...what to do...

Tanabe DF
I have Tanabe DF's on my GS 400 and I love em. I used to have Tein S Techs on and the drop wasn't aggressive enough. Tanabe's are the way to go, plus they're about $100 cheaper than Daizens. The ride is smooth and the drop is about the same.

Will post pics soon. I have neg camber in front when I last took out my wheels, no neg camber in the rear. As with any drop you will get uneven tire wear. Im used to it. I have 245 19's front and 275 19' rear.

i went with df210 because it was the only drop that would leave the fender sitting on the tire, not like many other drops that are even all around, therefore the back looks lower than the front or even some have gaps in front after lowering.
camber wear is a problem for gs owners, especially for the ones with stagger wheels. if you don't have staggers than you need not to worry. rotating will make the tires last twice as long. the only thing i do is swap my front tires every four months. change inside to out side.

Wow, that's a very nice ride that is without bodykit! The drop makes it look bold.
I used to have the Daizen springs before I went to coilovers.
1.9 F / 1.7 R not much different from the Tanabe that Seize posted above.

Here's a pic of mine on 19's back in the day
